This was something I immediately wanted to do once I got through half of the game, but I decided to see it through with the english dialog. While I thought Kezia Burrows did a brilliant job as Nilin, there was something bizarre about hearing a *very* French half white, half black young woman...

(*Spoilers*) Picked up 'Remember Me' for free via Xbox Gold. Found it to be a rather great game that just felt like it had a ton of great ideas thrown at it that were never given the time, or production resources, to be fleshed out completely. Couple that with a story that was pretty much...

Pretty much. Even pointed that out elsewhere and was pleased to see quite a few people respond with "Yes!" Considering TSW was such a phenomenal game that just couldn't step out of the shadows (no pun intended) because of it's MMO handicap I'd love to see what a major studio like BioWare could...

Wow. A review title at Escapist that doesn't really match what the article says. There's a shock >.> In all seriousness I'm always okay with differing opinions. However in this instance I think she pictured or hoped for something very specific so intensely that she didn't allow herself to...

Clearly I'm in the severe minority here, but I actually kind of dig this. Both the concept and how it looks. I mean, true, given the High School Musical connection and the fact that there is the direct connection to the Disney films I'm more than a little worried there are going to be moments...

Glad she walked away. Escape a sinking ship (minus the rat analogy). ASM was boring as all hell (all the well delivered quips in the world couldn't change that...) and ASM2 felt like a rushed cash grab and Bipolar cornucopia of "Let's cram in as many characters as possible to cover the weak...

Not surprised to read about Episode 2's narrative excellence. At this point, that's just par for the course with Telltale. Am a bit disappointed to know that 'Smoke and Mirrors' doesn't have the somewhat satisfying run time that 'Faith' had (depending on dialog choices and other actions)...

Completely agree with one slight addendum. It would have found much more success as a primarily single player, open world RPG with Co-Op options and MP arenas. Focus should have been on the single player aspect, especially considering that, even at launch, the game was essentially designed to be...

Both games "experienced lower sales" because Ubisoft often has an insanely unrealistic perception of how much new games based on popular IPs will net. Square did the same thing with Tomb Raider, believing it would rake in the same amount as it's inspiration, Naughty Dog's Uncharted, if not more...

Clearly in the minority of those who actually enjoyed the Music Video/Character Introduction. Song was fairly catchy, the mix of 3D and 2D animation gave the whole thing this sweet mature/stylized Pixar aesthetic, and Jinx's character design nails being both sexy and less gratuitous than many of...

Have to say the thing I liked about Fallout 3 more than New Vegas was that it felt like a much tighter world with a much tighter story and a natural flow of events and characters. New Vegas too often felt like you just wandering with no rime or reason. Yes, you had your revenge/chose a side...

Casey Hudson is still project lead right? And Mac Walters is still lead creative writer? Then...yeah, I'm going to go out on a limb and assume this sudden flood of "It Rocks" Tweets from inside BioWare is EA starting the damage control hype machine early for ME4. After what they did to many fans...

This is welcome news. Those rumors people were trying to float around that he was going to leave the Director's Chair for Star Wars and return to focusing on Star Trek and his other projects was laughable. I mean, come on. Aside from the ridiculous island full of money Disney likely offered him...

All of these games sold reasonably well by the standards of other company projections, especially Tomb Raider which had both critical and admirable commercial success. It's insipid to blame not meeting unrealistic financial/profit figures on Disc sales and retailer practices. I work for...

Again, you're missing the point. Clark was always a Hero. He saved lives even before he donned the suit. Where the movie went wrong is making his "failing" to save a life an aspect of his character, one that haunts him and leaves him in doubt and isolated. However, it doesn't change the fact...
